2-Methyl-5-(methylthio)pyridine CAS 31181-60-9

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methyl-5-(methylthio)pyridine is closely related to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Methyl-5-(methylthio)pyridine (CAS 31181-60-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H9NS, MW 139.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C7H9NS, 2-Methyl-5-(methylthio)pyridine contains a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 139.22 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methyl-5-(methylthio)pyridine meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
